No he isn't. Its a leveraged buyout.

Twitter owns the debt. Elon owns Twitter, but can let Twitter go bankrupt on its own and cut his losses.

As far as I can tell, Elon Musk is just invested at "getting back" at everyone who forced him to buy this company at way overpriced values. He's fired the CEO, CFO, Legal Team, and now the data-engineers who supported the legal team's arguments.
